Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Brussels to Hamburg. While the takeoff offers pleasant rural scenery, the landing approach provides more distinctive and visually interesting features—the Elbe estuary, Hamburg's urban lakes, and port infrastructure create a more memorable window experience than the flat Flemish plains.

During takeoff from Brussels Natl (BRU), sit on the Right side for the best views. Brussels departures typically climb northeastward toward Hamburg.

When landing at Hamburg (HAM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Hamburg approaches typically descend from the southwest.

Notable sights include: Elbe River estuary, Alster lakes in Hamburg city center, Hamburg port and docks, Binnenalster (inner lake).
